This is the
largest set of group tests available, and it is constantly being
updated and new articles added. Almost all of the
software featured in the group tests below is free to download
(and open source).

We are regularly adding new group tests, and
intend to make this feature cover every different type of software. If
you wish to suggest a new Group Test, please contact
us by email at webmaster@linuxlinks.com.

Big Data

Big
Data is an all-inclusive term that refers to data sets so
large and complex that they need to be processed by specially designed
hardware and software tools.

Software
licenses stir up emotive feelings in the Linux
community. Licenses generally fall into one of two broad
categories: proprietary licenses and open source licenses. The type of
software license an application uses is significant in the effect it
has on the rights of the user of the application, and whether a
programmer chooses to contribute his or her time to its development.
